Salma Hayek who witnessed abuse as a child, grabbed at the chance to support domestic violence campaign. Hayek when small was shocked to witness her father being attacked, after he had tried to intervene in a fight between a husband and wife in the streets. Said the beautiful actress, "The first time I saw domestic violence firsthand was when I was in Mexico, taking a walk with my family, and we came upon a man beating up this woman.
"My father intervened and fought the man and won. I remember thinking: 'Oh my God, my father is a hero.' Then the woman turned around and started beating up my father. I couldn't comprehend what was happening.
"After that I became very intrigued with what makes a woman stay in an abusive relationship. How does her spirit break?"Hayek, hats of to you for supporting such an important cause.
